Forms of the insecticides that are commonly available 

 for preparing sprays are listed below; opposite each is 

 shown the amount that should be mixed with water in 

 order to prepare a spray of the desired strength. (If you 

 buy a product in which the percentage of insecticide 

 differs from the one indicated here, use proportionately 

 more or less of it.) 



Insecticides and forms Amount to apply per acre 



in which they may in 20 to 100 gallons of 



be purchased water 



Lindane: 



25-pcrccnt wettable powder.... 1 pound 



or 



20-pcrcent emulsifiable concentrate 1J4 pints 



Carbaryl: 



50-percent wettable powder 2 pounds 



85-percent wettable powder 1 pound, 3 ounces 



4 lbs./gal. suspension concentrate 1 quart 



The fungicides zineb and maneb are toxic to young 

 pickleworms. If you apply one of these to your cucurbit 

 crop for disease control, you may apply either lindane or 

 carbaryl in the same dust or spray. On cucumber 

 plantings, if you do this and make applications every 

 5 days, you may reduce the amount of insecticide 

 applied per acre by one-half.
